Pan American Skyway by Daiya (Terai)

Note that the Pan Am globe has five longitude lines above and below the title ... most toys have just four (which is accurate).

Daiya (Terai) also released this toy in two other airline liveries that I know of: BOAC and Sabena.
Like most toy manufacturers, the company used this same design for some military toys as well. There is a hard-to-find U.S. Army Helicopter and a Army Transport Helicopter.
Interestingly, Daiya took the Army Transport Helicopter and blew up the scale for a variant in both a friction and battery-operated version. Most of the toys are just shy of 9 inches long, but the larger scale Army Transport Helicopters are nearly 15 inches long.
